(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Chan nell, and Pigott.) ELTREY V, THE LONDON, CHATAA3I, AND DOVER RAIL- WAY COMPANY. Mr Edward James, Q,C., in this case moved for a now trial, The ease was beard last term, when a verdict was given for the defendants, and that verdict it was sought to set aside. The plaintiff, it appeared, was in the employ ment of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com. pany, and in October last year ho was acting in the capacity of guard to a train of waggons going to Dover. There were three o:her guards in charge of the train, which had to detach and leave three trucks at Farnham. Two of the trucks w o re safely separated from the trair, but in placing the third the " sprag," used to stop the speed of the waggon, broke, and very se verely injured the plaintiff's knee. At the trial Mr Bevil' contended the company was not liable, inasmuch as the sprag was not used by their ,lirection. The defendant contended that there being no break attached to the truck, it was impossible to stop it without using the sprag, which defendant said he was ordered to do by direction of his superior officer, The learned counsel forcibly insisted that it was the duty of the employers of the plaintiff to provide him with materials with which he was to perform the work, and if they proved defective then they were liable for the consequences. The Lord Chief Baron said he agreed with the learned counsel to a certain extent, but if those materials were not supplied, then ho thought it was the duty of a servant not ti do that which might result in danger. Mr, James a .id the plaintiff had been clearly told by the superior officer to use the sprag, and had he not done so he would have had to disobey orders and stand the conse quence of the truck going on, and perhaps causing serious consequences to passenger trains. The Court, after hearing the learned gentleman at great length, thought the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Rule refused, QUEEN'S BENCE. Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Cromp ton, Blackburn, and 111el1o:.) Mr Digby Seymou:, CLC., occupied the court some time this morning with an application for a new trial in a case which had betn heard by Justice Blackburn last term. The action was brought by the 7 mother of a boy who had entered the service of the defendant, who was a carpenter, and the proprietor of some very ex tensive sawing machinery. Tne mother stipulated when the boy first entered the service that ht should not be called upon to attend or go near tho machinery. This was agreed to, and the boy for some months was engaged in running errands and other trifling matters. Atter he had been so engaged for nearly 12 months, he was one day attending to a certain portion of the machinery, and in endeavouring to remove some obstruction from it while in motion his arm was unfortunately Brawn into it, and so severely injured that amputation became necessary. The mother brought her action, and ample damages were awarded, but it was now sought to set aside the verdict by a new trial. The Court was of opinion that the mother was wise in her stipulation that her son should not go near the machi nery ; but as he had, and that with the knowledge of his employer, he was responsible for the consequences, std therefore the previous v.irdict must stand.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE IN TILE HAYMARKET.—John Branet, a cab driver, badge 15,347, was charged before Mr Yardley with being drunk and incapable of driving his cab, and also with assaulting police-constables Yeo, 316 A, and Pratt, 311 A. Yeo said—At five minutes to one this morning I saw a cab standing in front of a public-house, no one attending to it. Seeing the defendant some minutes afterwards come out of the public-house, I asked him if the cab belonged to him, and he said, " What's that to you." Two gentlemen came out of the house, and as they were about getting into the cab I saw that the defendant was drunk. I, therefore, re fused to let the gentlemen get in, and the defendant then struck me a blow on the head which knocked me down, and it took lour of us to take him to the station. Mr Yardley—Did the defendant hurt you ? Yc:s. I).2fendant—l did not mean to do it. I had taken up two "swells" in PrincJs-.,treat, City, and they gave me some ale. Oa coming out of the publichouse the constable said I had left my cab unattended. I said I had not. My " swells" then came out and asked me to go on, but the con• stable weak' not let me, and toy "swells" then said the cab man was nobody. What made the policeman savage was bccauso I called him a fair man, and said I did net like lair man. Mr. Yardley —Constable, did being called a fair man irri tate you ? Constable—Not at all, sir. DJ.;ndant—All the cuntables—lour of them—struck me. Mr Yardley—l do not see soy marks about you. Thos. Peat; 311 A--I went to the assistance of Yeo. I persuaded the defendant to go quietly, and he then struck me a blow in the mouth, and then throw himself on the ground, and while I was stooping to pick the defendant up a man caught hold of my legs end threw me a regular summersault. It took four of us to get the defendant to the station. Mr Yardley fined the defendant 20s, or 8 days. Louis Muller, pastrycook at the Burlington, in Regent street, was next charged with assaulting the police. Austin, 188 C—l was looking of ter the cab in the last case, when I saw the defendant go up to Pratt, 311 A, who was stooping to pick up the cabman, and seize him by the legs and turn him heels over head. I then took him into custody, and while on the way to the station, passing through Jermyn-street, defendant put his leg between mine and threw me, and then ran away, I pursued him, and he was taken into custody and to the station. _ _ _ Pratt, 311 A—l was thrown heels over head, and my back was hurt. Mr Y ardley—The defendant might have done the con stable serious injury, lie has been guilty of an imperti nent interference with the police while in the proper exe cution of their duty. A witness from the Burlington gave the defendant a good character as a quiet and decant man. Mr Yardley—The defendant has got a degree of strength which, if used or abused as it was last night, might become a dangerous acquisition. But fur the character the defend. ant had received I should have sent him to the House of Correction. I shall fine him 40s or 14 days. Samuel Hardcatle, of 53, Brunswick. terrace, Dover-road, traveller to a wholesale cheesemonger, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Thomas Pratt 311 A. Pratt—About two this morning the defendant called at the station and asked to see the inspector. Ho saw the in spector, and on coming out of the room the defendant said to me, " Oh, you are the -- who locked up my cabman," and then struck me a violent blow in tho face. Yeo, 316 A, corroborated Pratt. Inspector Walker—The defendant came into the inspec tor's room and demanded to know why the cabman was locked up, and said the cabman was not drunk, and that he would see the cabman before ho left. He told the re• serve man to see tho defendant to the door, and shortly after the defendant was brought in for assaulting the constable. Defendant—l did not make use of the expression. 1 did not strike the constable, bat I might have put my hand on him. Mr Yardley-1 think the defendant's conduct very bad, it showed spite. I shall commit him for seven, days, with out a flue. The defendant seemed much surprised at the result. THAMES, TRICKS OF BENEFIT SOCIETIES.--A poor woman named Madden, the wife of Henry Madden, made a complaint against the Sons of Hope Benefit Society, held at the Bank of Friendship public-house, in Banorott-place, Mile-end road. Her husband joined the society on the 4th of April last. lie was then in good health. On the 12th of Juno he was removed to Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum on a medical certificate of his insanity. One of the rules of the accioty declared that members were to be freo in six months, and in sickness to be allowed 12s per week. She had paid up all the contributions, and they were received with the full knowledge her husband was insane ; but when she applied for the kick all mance it was refused. She was promised the money she had Already paid in to the society, and that was refused. The last time she want to the club-house she was insulted, and told there was nothing for her. She respectfully submitted she was entitled to 12s. per week while her husband was ill. She had three young children to maintain, and was in groat distress. Mr Paget said the "Sons of Hope Benefit Society" was not enrolled and registered, and he had no jurisdiction in the case. He recommended the applicant to go to the County Court of the district and ask for a summons. WESTMINSTER. A Pooh WIPE'S COMPLAINT.-A very creditable-looking middle-aged woman. who appeared much distressed, applied to the magistrate for his assistance under the following painful circumstances. Applicant said that she and her husband, who was a poor hard-working man, lived at the Model Buildings, Pye-streat, where a circumstance had occurred which had thrown him upon his back and deprived her of the means of subsistence. Her husband, without the least provoca tion on his part, had had his leg broken by a woman at those lodgings. Applicant and the woman had had a few words about household matters. Afterwards, upon her hus band entering, the woman rushed upon him, seized him by the hair of the head, and dashed him down on the ground as a butcher would an ea, by which his leg was broken. Mr Selfo inquired where her husband was. Applicant replied that ho was in the hospital, and she wanted redress against the woman who had inflicted the injury. Mr belfe observed that he supposed it would bo some time beta° he could leave there. Complainant replied it was a very sad affAir. Her hus band's leg had been set on Wednesday, but it had been found necessary to break it again. It would of course be some time before he could recover, and sho heard this woman was a very slippery person, and feared she would bo off un- less the magistrate granted a summons or a warrant against her. Mr Selfe said applicant had better wait till her husband was well enough to attend the court himself. Applicant repeated that the woman might then be gone away. Mr Selfe said she must keep her eye upon her. He did m ust be detained for a l engt h of t i me i n cus t o dy.

It is asserted that contracts for the mortgage of the crown lands have been concluded with the Credit Mobilicr in conjunction with some other credit institutions. The report of the committee upon the bill for the transfer of the capital to Florence, brought in by Signor Mosca in the Chamber of Deputies yester day, states that the principal object of the conven tion was to put an end to the French occupation of Rome. The national aspirations would not be sAtit-fiee by the convention—but it would prepare the way for their fulfilment by the farce of un avoidable circumstances. By the convention the Italians are constituted the guardians of the prin ip!e of non-intervention in reference to Rome. rhe report rikcts the doubt that that principle would not be carried out loyally, and states that for the present the convention may possibly cause an increse in the expenditure. The transfer of the capital is an act of home policy, and is the cause and not the object of the stipulations of the convention. The report further states that the committee have had regard of the different positions of the contracting Governments, and believe every decla ration or principle to be both perilous and useless. Iu conclusion, the adoption of the bill, as pro• posed by the Government, is recommended. TURIN, Nov, 4, Evening. In to-daVs sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of Finance made his statement, aci. cording to which 200,000,000 lire were required for the public expenditure to the end of 1864. The Minister did not intend to propose any fresh loans until the financial position of Italy had consider ably improved, lie announced an immediate re duction of 60,000,000 of lire in the public expondi. ture, 42,000,000 of which will be introduced in the naval department. The Minister further stated that still greater reductions will be effected by means of the funda mental laws of the kingdom. To cover the deficit of 200,000,000 the Minister proposed a bill to come into force prior to the 25th November, from which he expects an increase of 40,000,000 of lire in the proceeds of the tobacco, salt, and other indirect taxes. The Minister also asks for the approval of the Chamber to certain contracts in reference to the crown property, whereby at lead 40 millions will at once accrue to the Treasury. lie also requested that the landed property tax, to the amount of 124 millions, payable either in silver or coupons of the public debt, should be anticipated, and that autho. risation to issue Treasury bonds to the amount of 36 millions of lire should be granted to him. Finally, the Minister announced that a bill would be communicated to the Chambers by which the King spontaneously renounces three millions of his civil list. (Gateral applause from all parts of the house.) The following bills were brought before the Chamber of Deputies by the ministry to-day : A bill for the transfer in the public accounts of the sum of 1,067,000 lire of rentes to the credit of the town of Turin, as indemnity for the change of the capital from there to Florence; for the transfer of the Court of Cassation from Milan to Turin in 1865; and also one to permit public companies to establish their head offices in other places besides the capital. The Minister of Justice stated that he will with draw the bill on ecclesiastical property, and bring it before the house in another form. Signor Saila declared that the contract for the sale of the State railways had been accepted by the Ministry ; but that it would be difficult imme. diately to submit the bill to the Chamber for ap proval, obstacles having been raised by the con tractors, on account of the transfer of the capital. To-morrow the Chamber will resolve itself into a committee for the examination of financial bills. Naval and Military Intelligence. The iron screw steamship Black Prince, 41, Capt. Lord Frederick H. Kerr, and the irencased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, Capt. Gorge 0. Wales, C. 8., went on Thursday from Plymouth Sound into Haman to repair and refit. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400 horse power, is still in the hands of the engineer department at Chatham-dock yard, in constquenco of its having been found necessary to furnish her boilers with new tubes. This will detain her about three weeks longer before she is fit to go into the Steam Reserve. Her Griffith propeller has also been un shipped, in order that some alterations mey be made in her screw, the working of which on the occasion of her recent trial by the officials of the Steam Reserve proved exceed ingly unsatisfactory. The screw corvette Scout, 21. 1,462 tons, 400 horse power, fitting for the first division of the Chatham Steam Reserve, has been selected by the Admiralty to have her midship sides protected by means of chain cable, on a plan similar to that adopted by the American frigate Kearsage when in action with the Alabama. For this purpose, the corvette is to be fitted with eye-bolts for the chains in the wake of her engines, and the necessary arrangements for carrying out the plan are to be made by the dockyard authorities, who are superintending the fittings on board the Scout. The Austrian screw steam-frigate Radetzky, 31, Capt. E. Bary, left Plymouth Sound on Thursday for Cadiz. The announcement of the appointment of Mr A. Moore, principal assistant-master shipbuilder at Chatham dockyard to be acting master shipwright at Devonport, previously to his being confirmed in that office, was made at Chatham yesterday, and was received with very general satisfaction. The name of his successor ae assistant master shipwright at Chatham, has not yet been announced. On Thursday night about 10 o'clock a fatal accident 00. cured on board her Majesty's ship Supply, Staff Comman der Bawden, in dock at Woolwich. A corporal of marines, named David Buchanan, on duty on board the Supply, after having gone the rounds with the officer in charge for the night, left the lower deck with a lantern in his hand with the intention, it is supposed, of getting a drink of water in from the cooking galley in the forecastle. An able seaman and a lad who were walking the deck perceived the man go into the galley, but instead of doing so by either the port or starboard doorway he was seen to force himself through an aperture cut in the after part of the galley, and which is about 4ft Gin wide, used with benefit for the purpose of ven tilation in warm climates. A very short time elapsed when the unfortunate man was seen to make his appearance out s'elo the galley without his lantern, and to fall head fore most into:the bold, a depth of 19ft, One of the boilers had been removed for repair, and the hold had been carelessly left unguarded, a mere ledge of timber about 18in broad ep - maining between it and the cookhouse on the main deck, and from which ho fell over. Assistance was promptly given and the sufferer was removed on a stretcher to the Royal Naval Infirmary. lie was carefully attended by Dr Selmon, Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals, and Dr Campbell, who pronounced the case hopeless. Besides various other injuries, the poor fellow had sustained a frightful wound at the back of his head sufficient to oauae death, which hap pened at 2 a.m. yesterday. lie was a steady, temperate man and of good character. Col. Knox, C. 8., who has for some time commanded the 9th Depot Battalion at the camp at Colchester, is about to leave England for an important command in Japan.

On the re-assembling of the Court yesterday tho follow inn evidence was adduced : Robert Gilpin, master of the Ringdove, said he was put in the sick list on the evening of the 17th of last May. After that he did not continue to keep the ship's reckoning. He told the captain he would assist and do as much as ho was able. He last laid down the ship's position on the chart at noon on the 18th. He marked her position on the chart, but ho made no reckoning that day. Ho marked her position from observations given him by other people. He had taken sights that morning at eight, but was too ill to work them. At six o'clock on the 18th he particularly requested that the course might be altered to SE , to stand in and take soundings on the bank. The commander for a long time was disinclined to do it. Ho spoke of the dan gerous coast, and the prevailing current, which was very uncertain and very rapid, and said the exact position should be obtained, if possible, before dark. At my suggestion the course was altered about 6 o'cl,ck. I then lett the deck, and I was very ill afterwards and unable to shops the course for the night or to give any advice. By the Court—When I was on deck about half past seven the vessel was stopped, and I heard the commander say, " If I don't get soundings I shall stand on for the night ;" but I was too ill to attend to anything. I went to sleep, and have no recollection of waking again until the morning when she struck. I did impress upon the captain the necessity of making soundings to ascertain the true position of the ship more a dezm times between four and six o'clock. I did see the land on the morning of the 18th between eight and nine o'clock, and we stooc: on for the land till half-past 12, when it was clearly in sight. Had no recollection of taking bearings of the land, and was not aware that they were taken. Did recognise the land. Had no doubt as to the regularity of the chronometers under my charge. Had only been on board the ship about a fortnight, having been in hospital at Hong Kong for three weeks, Had opportunities of rating the chronometers after to the ship. Oa the morning of the 12th took 21 sights, the on• tries of which were contained in the book produced. The result of those eights were quite satisfactory. Had taken every opportunity to correct the variations of the compass between Hong Kong and the time I went on the sick list. It was net the custom to state how those variations arose in the log-book. The President—Have you any reason to doubt the cor rectness of the chart you were Bailing by?—No. How do you account for the ship striking on that shoal, when, according to the reckoning, she ought to have been ten or 15 miles off I' had made an allowance of ten or twelve miles for a current setting to the eastward before making the land, on account of knowing the very strong currents of the coast and the irregularity cf their setting in. I told the captair, , when I wished him to alter the course south-cask, that I was not positive of tho ship's position within 10 or 12 miles, and entreated him to strike the bank for soundings, where the exact position of the vessel could be ascertained before dark. This took place when looking at the chart a little before 6 o'clock. I found my impression of an easterly current running to the extent I have named was not correct. I had no opportunity of ascertaining the set of the current and its extent. I believe there was no current. I had only taken the precaution to make the laud I did not consider there was danger attending the pers_ver ance in the south-east course until w 3 could obtain sound ings, supposing the soundings were taken every hour. Knowing our latitude at noon, and approximately at dark, by steering for the land, we could have ascertained her posi tion exactly by soundings when we got on the bank. No ordinary current that might have been running would have rendered such a course dangerous. There was no reason to anticipate danger from the Collingwood shoal by pursuing such a course. There is no other shoal which would have been dangerous under such circumstances. I consider I was not doing duty after the ship struck only assisting, by answering any question put to me or giving any information. I believe the sights I took on the morning of the 18th were worked out by Lieut. Arundeli. I never thought of the sight when the ship's position was ascertained at noon—the latitude had been observed, it was a beautiful clear day, land was fairly in sight, cross-bearings might have been taken at any mo ment, and soundings got on the bank to correct any errors. I was in my cot at the time, The 'ethnic and longitude by which we laid down our position on the chart that day were the observed latitude and longitude, to the best of my knowledge. I worked no sights, I was told the latitude and longitude, and I put it down. I was anxious to see how far we had gone south, and that we wero clear of shoals. I did not think about soundings till 4 o'clock, and then I spoke to the captain about it. His reason for not taking them then was that he did not like losing so much time. I answered that two hours was nothing where the safety of ship was concerned. I did not point out to the captain that if the observations were correct we must have been in sound ings from noon until 6pm.Atl2 30 I said t ' captain —" We may as well alter course, and steer t u not sufficiently acquainted with that part of the know the headland and remarkable points, and em 1. L are of any of the officers being so. Cross-bearings can I. / taken with certainty by persons not acquainted with the coast; the land is very remarkable." Had no doubt as to the cor rectness of the ship's position at noon. I never thought of it on account of the latitude, and knowing i 3 t _met position could be taken at any moment on the bank. It is usual, after being out of sight of land for some days, to verify the observations by bearings of the land anl sounding, if to be obtained, Sec. I should have done so if I had been able to move about, but I was suffering very much from dysen tery, and had little thought beyond myself atter the latitude had been taken, and the exact position could be depended upon by soundings or cross-bearings. I did not keep the chronometer journal from the time of leaving Hong-Kong ; I save it to the secondsmaster to keep. It was my 1.i,._. ice to examine that journal daily, but I cannot say wht :eer I did so. I either wound, or saw the chronometers wound, daily up to the time of going upon the sick list. The ship was at Hong-Kong for about a fortnight ; and as we were only going for a four days' passage we wont to sea without having obtained fresh rates for the chronometers. The chro nometer "A," upon which I depended, was rated as gaining three seconds a day. From subsequent observations I have no reason to believe that rate was au erroneous one. If the entries made between May 23 and June 7 in the chro nometer journal show the rate to be losing instead of gain ing I cannot say whether the Court Es to infer that they are incorrect. I was not on board, but the chronometers might have altered wonderfully coming from Shanghae, where it was very cold, and getting into warmer weather-1 found the chronomers always gaining, I cannot say whether the position marked in the chart is that I gave to the captain as the position of the ship at noon on the 18th. To the best of try knowledge it is. I did not say the captain refused to stand in to strike the bank, I only strongly recommended him to do so. I did not work any r eckoning. I was merely doing my best in giving information. I can account for the difference of a minute in the chronometer A, as shown in my work and the chronometer journal. When the ship was on the reef Mr Jackson remarked that the chronometers had very much altered their rates, and had been jumping about a great deal. When the land was observed I had given up all responsibility of taking charge or doing anything at all. Mr Gilpin was cross-examined by Commander Brown and Mr Jackson at some length; but nothing material was elicited tending to contradict the evidence in chief. Mr Jackson was exatninel, also the quartermaster on duty when the ship struck, and the men on the look out. These men said they had been cautioned that night to look out for rocks and shoals and broken water; thot they saw nothing until the ship struck. At daylight the rock was visible for about a mile ; and was from two to four feet above water, The Assistant Surgeon proved that on the night tho ship struck Mr Gilpin, the master. was on the sink list from dysentery, and that he administered morphia. He was unfit for duty. This closed the prosecution. The Court asked the commander, master, and second master if they wished o make any additional statements, or if they required time. The reply was in the negative. Testimonials were then read, produced by CAmmander Brown and Mr Gilpin. PORTSMOUTH, Friday. The Court-martiial closed this evening, when the com mander was reprimanded, and ordered to be more careful in future. The master was admonished for not having ascertained the proper state of the chronometers before leaving Hong Kong. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market quiet but steady.

J. Poe Esq Q.C., M.P.) concluded hie address to the meeting with these observations—l know that there aro even now [onto persons to mistaken as to suppose that it does not conduce to the public benefit that working men should be educated, and I regret to learn from a statement of Lord Lyttelton that many great employers of labour is this and a neigh bouring county have withdrawn their subscriptions from some educational institutions upon the ground that it makes the working mon discontented with their lot in life and more exacting in their demands for the wages of labour. I entirely concur in the admirable remarks of Mr Lloyd in reference to the ignorance of the working classes, and, in deed, I am afraid we may say the ignorance of the public generally, as to the plain and simple elements of political economy. It would well become anybody, especially work ing men, to study that subject, and I would most emphati cally recommend those who withdrew their subscriptions from educational institutions from the fear that education makes working men discontented—l say I would emphati cally recommend those gentlemen to turn their attention to the study of political economy. If only masters and work ing mon were properly educated these disturbance.; of the labour market as those this district and other districts aro at present suffering from would never occur again. (Cheers.) Without in the slightest degree entering into the merits of the question between the workmen and their em ployers in the neighbourhood —a question, indeed, which I do not understand, and on which I am not competent to express an opinion—l will say that the barbarous custom of resorting to what are called strikes to settle disputes be tween masters and men as to the rate at which the ono shall buy and the other shall sell labour is a disgrace to the civilisation of tho ago, (Applause.) There never was a strike and there never will be a strike that was not or will not bo disastrous both to masters and to men—and the me lancholy feature of the matter is this— that there is not the least necessity for the great evils which arise from thee() strikes—evils which extend far beyond the parties imme diately concerned, evils injuriously affecting the workmen's innocent wives and families, and indeed all the members of the community. (Applause.) I will show why there is no necessity for such evils. In this country we are not much accustomed to think the French superior to our • selves; we are very loth to admit that such is the case. But there is no question that in this particular matter the French are far in advance of us. Strange to say, from the earliest ages—it is not the result of modern political eco nomy, but from the earliest ages in France there have existed institutions called " Consents des Prud'hommes” —the duties of which councils are to inquire into and adjudicate on disputes between masters and worknien on the subject of wages, and the plan pursued is as simple att possible. In every district, and witL reference to every class of trade and manufacture in that district, a council is ap pointed, the masters electing throe members and the men three. A president is chosen to preside over their discus sions. If the decision of the council bo not acquiesced in, an appeal lies to the Chamber of Commerce; but, as I as certained, when in Faris a few weeks ago, although on an average 4,000 or 5,000 cases are annually brought bolero the council in that city alone, appeals aro almost if not quite unknown. Thus that largo number of oases is settled be tween the masters and men without any disturbance or dif ficulty whatever—(applause).—and what is stranger still is that although those councils have power to adjudicate, and although by law the adjudication may be made as binding upon the parties as would bo the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction between litigant parties in this country, yet so admirably is the system managed that out of these 4,000 or 5000 cases, of which thrce-fourths relate to wages alone, the great majority are not adjudicated upon at all, but settled by the conciliatory manner of the council. I trust some of the working men will hear what I say, not because I say it, but because I think they must see at once that the way I have described is a much more rational way of settling their disputes with their masters than by resort ing to the barbarous and expensive practice of a strike. I presume the workman wants onlywhat is fair,and I presume the master only wants what is fair; and if so, why not re sort to some such system as exists in France to settle their differences, instead of going on in the absurd way in *Lich they have been going on lately to their own detriment and the injury of everybody else. (Applause) DJ not sappok that what I have said is foreign to the subject before the meeting, or of the resolution I have to propose, because it strikes me they are intimately connected. I believe it is by the agency of such institutions as this college that wo can alone look for the enlightenment that will adopt such a course as I have suggested—and as it would be equally for the benefit of masters and men, all ought to combine to maintain this and similar colleges. I trust that they will do so, and that in the resent you may feel and enjoy with the rest of the people of this country— " The softening arts of peace, Whato'er the hum tnieing muses teach; The godlike wisdom of the temper'd breast; Progressive truth, the patient force of thought; Investigation c,rlm whose silent powers Command the world; the light that leads to Heaven; Kind equal rule, the government of laws And all-protecting freedom, which alone Sustains the name and dignity of man." (Applause.) I have great pleasure in proposing " That this meeting warmly recognises the benefits arising from sound education among all classes of the community as ono of the best means of promoting order, good-fellowship, and progress." (Prolonged cheering.) ANCIENT LONDON.—The marvellous transforma. tions that have been effected by railways in Lon don during the past few years, render it no small import ance to gather up every scrap of topographical lore while a few sites remain that are dearer to history and the Marc.. It is but the other day that wo heard of the dean notion of Milton's residence in Barbican. Now we hear that Gold smith's residence in Green Arbour-court must share the same fate. With such changes going on around us, it is gratifying to learn that Aleph, the gifted author of " Lon don Sciences and London Peoples," has a companion volume in the press, the title of which is "The Old City, and its Ilighways and Byways." We hear that the forth coming work will ba rich in personal reminiscences of his• torical sites and sketches of remarkable places and person ages, which more or less refl:et upon uo the light of other days from the great Old City. THE LATE MURDER NEAR NEWTON ABBOT.— It wilt be in the recollection of our readers that sometime in August last year, about a week after the Newton Abbot Races had taken place, the body of a young man, named John Mears, was found in a stream of want* at Teignbridge, in close proximity to the rac eteauree, an d the marks of violence en various parts of his body led to the supposition that there had been foul play. Two men, named James Stevens, a man of colour, and John Burke, were charged with being concerned in the alleged murder, the accusation being founded on the statement of a by named ' Pike, about 13 years of age, who distinctly swore that ho had seen Burke tied Stevens assault d b e ri n d e g e e b w ot a h ll n r i so the er s w ,c a v t e e r r e by eo m E ln t t v t , e n d t ie Mears, ending in th e l atter b eing thrown over the p Upon theirthin et the D e v on ass i zes, held at Exeter in December last before Baron Pi gott , S tevens being charged with the capital offence and Burke as an accomplice. Tho boy Pike was then sul jetted to a severe cross - examination, which considerably chunk his statement, and his former career not being of the most pleasant nature his evidence was disbelieved, and both prisoners were acquitted. Within the past few days a rumour has been extensively circulated in the neighbourhood of Newton that Burke has died, and made a confession of the circumstances, implicating Stevens as the actual murderer. It was currently reported that these depositions were taken before a magistrate, and that a warrant had been granted for the apprehension of Stevens. On inquiry at the Newton police station last night, we wore informed that no official information had been received, although the rumour had reached the cars of the police. Whether it be a rumour only we aro not in a position to state either ono way or the other, but we shall possibly learn something more &finite in a few days.— Weston Daily Mercury.
